[New maintainer of dbconfig-common here, please be gentle with me for a while.] On Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:06:36 +0100 =?ISO-8859-15?Q?Patrick_Matth=E4i?= <[email protected]> wrote: > would it be possible to implement a feature as described here: > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700895#15 Which is what exactly? You want to be able in <package> configuration to disable the skipping of the question to use dbconfig-common to configure the database? This would mean that you force people to allow dbconfig-common to have dbadmin access to their database. That would be quite against the philosophy of dbconfig-common as some "corporate setups" don't allow this, e.g. the database is setup and configured before a package is installed. It would also not help, as during failure, the administrator is still allowed to "ignore further errors" so the setup would continue, but would fail at the next step. I rather think you want to use the option to pass "dbc_dgi_on_manual=false" and e.g. to check if the configuration file exist after calling dbconfig-common to determine what your package should do. Maybe even checking for the "dbc_install" variable in the /etc/dbconfig-common/<package>.conf shell configuration file. Please let me know what you think, I may reconsider if you can convince me, but that won't be easy. Paul
